Puckguy14 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Wow you all are on the Frisco thing. It's considered derogatory, and many gangs around the area use that and sadly, idiots actually sell merchandise toward that market. Many outsiders who visit or talk about it in general, consider it cool to say Frisco because they believe it was considered part of the local lingo, when its usually an insult. That being said, I know you all had your fun with it, but please, at least for my sake, give it all a rest. Kinda getting back to topic. Berman refers the then NFC Central now NFC North as the Norris, for the main reason. At the time of the 1992-93 NHL season, the teams that played in the Norris were from the same cities as the teams from the NFC Central, the exception of course Packers and Leafs.Chicago (Bears, Blackhawks)Detroit (Lions, Red Wings)Minnesota (Vikings, NorthStars)Tampa Bay (Buccaneers, Lightning)Green Bay was the lone one the, but the previously mentioned match with them and the Leafs when they didn't win it all since the glory year of the 1967 season. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Some folks take things way too seriously.I always thought the "NFC Norris" reference was a little weak, but the realignment into North/South/East/West makes it a little more germane today than when Berman was first doing it. To deviate from topic a little yet again, I'm always kind of dumbstruck by the fact that while most people refer to basic compass directions in the order of "North, South, East, West," the NFL inexplicably lists its divisions (in its standings, for example) as "North, East, South, West."

mantleisthebest7 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I personally love the fact that they call them the Football Giants. It brings back the old school kinda feeling to football, and Im a throwback kinda guy so I love it. Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Friasco? Frickasee?Fricasse too. Oh, and The Main Street of the Rockies too [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too?

In fact, it seems that traditionally in all leagues, East is always listed first and West is always listed last. (Do I sense an East Coast bias here? )Although I remember that because I've never lived out west. Do West Coast newspapers put the home-team's division first?

It was weird seeing that for the first time when I moved from the East Coast to the PNW.Occasionally here I'll see the NFC South listed first in the paper, which kinda throws me for a minute, especially when the AFC South is listed third among its divisions. I guess at that level it's a matter of preference, but to me "N-S-E-W" seems the 'proper' way to list them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
